It’s a small world in NYC politics as reporters run into Curtis Sliwa in Midtown after mayor’s presser. He’s asked many including what he thinks about the campaign to stop Mamdani from attending the 9/11 ceremony. “Ridiculous,” he said. “He’s the mayor. Stop being sore losers.”
@depechejoe Feature, not a bug - for this reason they also serve as a major conduit for all kinds of right-wing/corporate spending that’s happy to target progressives via AIPAC for their own reasons
@isaiah_bb 60 million wasn’t spent on nothing. If you’re an average Dem voter living in Detroit and you’re absolutely bombarded day and night with ads telling you Haley Stevens is a close protege of the Obamas, you just might vote for her, even if you vote for incumbent Rashida Tlaib too
I appreciate AIPAC proving it doesn’t belong in the Dem Party and especially our primaries.
From endorsing Jan 6th members to ensuring Congress remains in the hands of a 34-count felon, AIPAC is an org committed to undermining democracy at home and abroad.
See you in November.
lol sorry kids it’s not enough now for a progressive to beat the entire Dem establishment and $62 MILLION in AIPAC and corporate spending against them, overcoming a 9-to-1 spending advantage. It actually only counts if it’s a blowout.
Wow—Six Dems really screwed their voters on this, writing Trump a huge check to continue the Iran war and massively increase military cooperation with Israel.
I noticed that these Dems didn’t start voting “yes” until the Republican “no”s hit the number needed to defeat the bill.
"If the plans that are currently being elaborated for Gaza go forward, genocide may come to be seen by some nations as the legitimate and lucrative extension of politics by other means. "

So disingenuous. Mamdani has already scored major budget, affordability and quality of life wins in his short time as mayor. Yet anti-Mamdani obsessives happy for previous mayors to spend hours at Israel events and days on Israel trips now say a two minute video is a distraction.
The party establishment is genuinely suicidal for backing Stevens so hard because AIPAC is going to immediately abandon her if she wins the primary and they're going to be left on the hook to spend to repair her image. All this while she's polling WORSE than AES.
Biden's team had 16 months of warnings about Gaza & moral, legal + strategic reasons to change course. They consistently chose to fuel Israeli violence
Now, they're trying to recast their record + views
My book charts how they acted when it most counted:
